Molly Whitebig "guns don't kill people, people kill people" energy from mr. wonderful, kevin o'leary 🙄
from Jacob Silverman's podcast about the collapse of ftx
the complete lack of remorse and unwillingness to take any responsibility that o'leary shows in this episode is pretty sickening.
aside from the fact that this episode may put you in a foul mood because of that, highly recommend the podcast.
it gives a good overview of what happened in ftx given that it's only four short episodes, and silverman actually talks to people who lost money in the collapse.
Allan Chow@molly0xfff the lack of remorse is why they were so able to do it to begin with, methinks

filmaj@molly0xfff that guy is a clownshow douche
bancks@filmaj @molly0xfff IMO whenever someone starts trying to capitalize on their image as a businessperson, they’re out of actual business ideas and shouldnt be listened to. There’s gotta be more money in running a company then there is in being a celebrity unless you’re trying to shill some kinda scam. And why would they want to bring us with them to the top anyway?
@filmaj @molly0xfff also if you look at it that way, O’Leary is just leaving the door open to run more of these scams in the future - and why wouldn’t he? Presumably he made a boatload with no repercussions.
Adam Cook@molly0xfff Is this not the same Mr. Wonderful that was defending SBF to the bitter end (and, perhaps, then some)?
How this character’s opinion still matters is absolutely mind-blowing.
O’Leary is a cruel sociopath that, unlike his contemporaries elsewhere, cares little about hiding it - displaying it proudly in fact.
ZeinThe only thing that can be said in "Mr. Wonderful's" defense, (playing devil's advocate), is the fact that he's plainly said and repeatedly, he only cares about money, money, and money.
I've yet to see him stray from that mantra. It's who he is, and why he's very wealthy.
I don't condone it, nor promote it, but that's who he is.

And it isn't even good software! Nobody who knows what they are talking about it who isn't already a soul-destroyed crypto shill can say it is good software...

Nihl L'Amas@molly0xfff On Shark Tank, O'Leary has implied he doesn't care if a product is a scam as long as it makes money. He first did this many years ago when someone was pitching some bullshit herbal supplement or something like that.
